My granddaughter is struggling today with the birth of her first child. There is a complication that will, hopefully, be resolved by the attending physician.
Men have a moment of gratification.
The woman spends the next 9 months trying to deal with the consequences of that moment.
There is a new sensation taking place within her body unlike any other experience heretofore.
It’s not uncommon that she may begin with morning sickness.
She now begins to assimilate all the adjustments necessary to begin the creation of a new human being.
Her body changes it’s shape while accommodating the space required for the infant to grow.
A new wardrobe is required.
Frequent visits to the doctor become routine.
Yet, the big test is yet to come.
The birthing process is more painful than any other experience she has had.
And then the new mom begins a lifetime of nurturing her child.
I hope all dads appreciate and actively support her in the days and years ahead.
Because she is what heroes are made of!
If not today, when?
